Human Ecology

Human Ecology courses provide students with a variety of opportunities to develop practical skills, work habits, knowledge and awareness in areas useful to them as individuals, in their families or learning environments or future workplace and as local and global citizens. Students engage in clothing and textiles (such as knowing about different fabrics or creating a textiles project) or food and nutrition (such as understanding nutrition basics or developing basic food preparation ability) experiences that include making choices, planning, designing, producing, creativity and self-expression, critical thinking, evaluation of finished products or consumer concerns.

Industrial Arts education programming provides the foundation for lifelong learning for living/working effectively in a changing technological environment. Participants in Industrial Arts programming work with the mindset of a problem solver using technological tools, materials, and processes to transform real-life concepts and ideas into goods and services. Problems, ideas and concepts are explored from the research/investigation stage to product development and ultimately to the final testing and assessment/evaluation. The changing nature of society and the workplace make the skills and knowledge developed in Industrial Arts education applicable to many other areas of life.
